The clash between Vietnam U17 Women and Hong Kong U17 Women (China) at 16:00 in Binh Duong is regarded as the "final" of Group D, as both teams have 3 points after two matches. However, the Hong Kong side is currently leading due to a better goal difference.
According to the rules, only the group winner advances to the 2026 AFC U17 Women's Championship finals, so coach Okiyama Masahiko's team must win all 3 points. The home advantage and support from the Binh Duong crowd are expected to help the Vietnamese girls play more confidently and energetically than before.
Meanwhile, Hong Kong U17 Women (China), despite their goal difference advantage, show defensive weaknesses under high pressure. If Vietnam U17 Women effectively utilize their pressing ability and wing speed — their strengths — they can dominate the game and secure a win to qualify for the continental finals.
